Symptom spotters, tww - ers, slightly hysterical hormone laden ladies! Regs, lurkers, intermittent posters! Our raison d'etre is 'am I pregnant?' Depending on how much Ovia (Whybird) has pissed us off/messed with our fw she is either the oracle or a sanctimonious charlatan.

Just a warning, we move FAST! Our threads last on average, about a week before they're full.

Thread 8 , Welcome one and all! Group of weirdos, wee hoarders, covert opk or okp, depending on what your autocorrect decides addicts with a side business in CM management!

We do not judge, we enjoy TMI, we i encourage waiting to poas nobody listens and all the grossness you can find from a group of intelligent, articulate ladies. Fart stories make us laugh, stories about cervical mucus, pooing, cysts and nausea equally welcome. Although normal conversation is also encouraged.

Post your stats and add your dates. We have a register thanks to kat a resident piss stick queen runner loaaaaaads of bfp'ers who keep us positive! We don't have rules, we love a good symptom spot, we try to stay grounded and not be hysterical sometimes we manage it aswell

We like acronyms, we make some up: PET = Proper expensive test. We love the d(h)...which can of course mean 'dearest' or 'dickhead' why, what were you thinking?

I read that saliva acts like a spermicide so best to be avoided, just like normal lube.

If someone wiser can prove me wrong I would be VERY grateful!!

Kathrino · 26/01/2016 19:46

Hello kt and latinata. Sounds like both of you are going to fit in well here...

Lisa, I totally snorted at vagworld.

Chocaholic88 · 26/01/2016 19:49

Welcome Latin and kt 😊☺😊☺

I have violent nausea tonight. Note to self: we no longer like apples...

latinata · 26/01/2016 19:50

From mybaba.com (whatever tf that is!!):

^Many couples worry that oral sex could lower fertility or damage sperm. “There could be a slight impact with oral sex on fertility,” explains Zita. “As saliva contains enzymes and other agents which can damage sperm.”

So does this mean taking a break from oral activities if you’re trying to get pregnant? “Not at all,” says Zita. “Being engaged and aroused during sex is very important to fertility for both partners. So if oral sex is something you enjoy as a couple, then by all means keep doing it, but avoid the fertile window.”^

I think I'll take my chances with the saliva Grin

LaraG13 · 26/01/2016 20:08

latin, I'm with confused, I'll take the chance of losing a few swimmers for the benefits! I read that saliva kills a few sperm but if your partner has a normal sperm count then a little bit of saliva won't damage your chances too much. That's what I am choosing to believe anyway :)

KatOnATinRo0f · 26/01/2016 20:09

Nooooooooooooo! I refuse to believe it.

Sore nips are doing my head in. No bra allowed near me 😠

Hi newbies! And welcome to the utter madness.

Co5mo · 26/01/2016 20:11

Ever we have just booked it so it's too late now. Italy here we come, hopefully with a bump to show off.

KatOnATinRo0f · 26/01/2016 20:11

Miley did u pee on anything yet? You sound definitely preggo. You are due to test 29th... Are you going to cave in or are you holding out for the starky star???

latinata · 26/01/2016 20:15

Right, well as a sign of respect to the group I'll happily ditch that recently-acquired rule!! I'm sure our medieval fore-mothers were much happier without Google. And forefathers happier when not exiled from Vagland.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 26/01/2016 20:20

Fuck no oral! If I don't get a baby then I'm at least getting rid of my lady boner! Shock

ever this is Nacho! His full name is Lord Nacho Cheese McYeezy-Beans. He answers to a combination of all of those....and Dobby. Grin

Choc that's amazing news congratulations!! You must be so happy!

First cycle of CM watch and I've never spent so much time inspecting my knickers. Is egg white CM a good sign?

ktkaye · 26/01/2016 20:23

Thanks for the welcome Smile

What whhaaaatttt is this about saliva and sperm not mixing?! This is new information , seriously thought I had read absolutely everything about TTC - ever... and now this? I thought I had it all covered! Also hahahahahahahhaha about it being fine except in fertile week. Fertile week is The Main week and therefore surely (correct me if I am wrong) we are NOT CONCERNED about sperm/saliva disasters at other times. I mean obv there is sex outside of The Week of Hope (as decreed by Ovia ) but....

ImpYCelyn · 26/01/2016 20:32

God it's awful ant it banana. School have helpfully sent some of my marking home for me and I hyperventilate every time I look at it

bellini def looks like a positive to me. Congrats!!!!

choc pmsl at your thread confusion!

LaraG13 · 26/01/2016 20:37

Haha kt that's exactly what I thought when I read that line. I don't need advice on how to have sex outside of fertile week, thanksverymuch.

ImpYCelyn · 26/01/2016 20:39

Wait, what's this about oral? Omfg, is that what went wrong this month? I'm definitely going to need to buy lube then... Are you silly ding thus preseed one?

LaraG13 · 26/01/2016 20:40

miley, sore nips sounds promising. When is AF due? I never get sore nips.

ImpYCelyn · 26/01/2016 20:43

Okay, I have no fucking clue what happened to my words in the last post!

Are you all using preseed, it should say. Not silly ding Hmm

I am not okay with this oral sex thing! I might also have to ignore that. Surely the delivery site (ahem) of the sperm puts it a decent way away from saliva? DH's tongue isn't on my cervix!

twinkydink · 26/01/2016 20:45

Totally ignoring all oral talk and refusing to believe it's not allowed!

IrregularCommentary · 26/01/2016 20:46

Oh God, I just imagined the weirdness of tongue on cervix and now I'm worried I'll never unclench!

ktkaye · 26/01/2016 20:47

Haha! A tongue to the cervix... Now there's a thought. I have no idea why I find the idea weird given what does go near my cervix.

Putting my hand up to buying some pressed but don't fully trust it...it smells v chemically. Surely that's a bad thing (or maybe something wrong with my tube?). Anyone else?
